Episode 27.

In an instant, the students began to chatter.

What?

I muttered, looking at the student who pointed at me, shaking his hand as if he was having a seizure.

Inside the medicine bottle in my hand, the purple liquid twinkled and quivered thickly.

DXellaria, which the student referred to, was the name of a rare drug that temporarily increased the amount of magical power for several hours.

The wizards intake of the drug was, so to speak, similar to an athlete taking steroids before a race.

Who is it?

I squinted at the students around me.

Such a trick is too obvious. By all means, the criminal is going to put it in my desk and say that my skills were fake and that all the games Ive played so far have been invalid.

DXellaria? Lady Spade?

Did Lady Spade really need to use DXellaria?

Looking at Spades reaction, I dont think its hers.

Listening to the students voices, I looked at the student who pointed at me.

The student, who made eye contact with me, immediately dropped his head and avoided my gaze.

I could tell that. He must have been bought or threatened by the criminal.

The man, who shuddered and pretended to be innocent, turned out to be the one who used to be stuck with Boyleis.

I can understand the situation roughly.

I glared at Boyleis, standing among the roaring students, pretending to talk to the student next to him casually.

All right, well see.

This is not what I brought. Ive never seen this bottle before today.

I spoke in a calm voice to the students.

Well, it rolled off from your desk. If its not yours then who?

Immediately came the sarcastic voice of Boyleis.

Standing with his arms folded in front of those who followed Eugene with him, he was making a cold laugh.

You-

I saw you carrying the bottle this morning, and Im sure there are several other people who saw it besides me.

The Boyleis said while glistening his eyes at me.

In his words, several people around him raised their hands and helped.

Thats right. I saw it, too.

Me too.

All of them were followers of Eugene, who accompanied Boyleis.

Do you think youll be fine with such a shallow trick?

On the contrary, as the trick was so obvious that my head was getting cold, I heard someone rumbling and kicking up the chair.

Do you guys really mean that?

The owner of the voice that clearly contained the meaning of the warning was surprisingly Eugene.

He was frowning and glaring at his followers.

If what youre saying turns out to be false, you wont all be safe in my hands. Can you swear that you didnt make it up?

To be honest, I was a little surprised by his unusual charisma.

Since he, the master, had said it, the servants must have been feeling miserable. Their face colour changed at once.

However, I didnt know where his confidence came from, Boyleis took a step forward and shouted out loud.

Of course. How can I lie to Eugene-nim? Im sure I saw her holding that purple DXellaria this morning.

Eugene kept his eyes blue quietly and glared as if he had pierced at Boyleis. Even he seemed to think that his statement was likely to be false.

How can I believe what you say in the first place, Boyleis? As far as I know, you seem to have a personal grudge against me since the 1st round.

I clenched my fist and talked coldly toward Boyleis.

How can you prove that you didnt put it in the first place? You did blame me, not your skills, for losing the game that day, didnt you?

The majority of the students nodded at my remark. Obviously, this fight was going against Boyleis. And yet Boyleis smiled strangely and kept a different attitude from the day he lost to me.

How can you prove that you didnt eat DXellaria, just as you are? How can you prove that its not yours when its still on your desk?

He deliberately straightened his shoulders to avoid showing weakness and recited his every word.

Why dont we run a drug test? Isnt that enough?

Then I took a step forward, with my red eyes raised, and looked straight at Boyleis.

Lets have a test.

I could feel the heat slowly gathering in my left eye looking at Boyleis.

It was anger that I felt after a long time since I avenged myself on the Postade.

But if the results show negative, youd better throw away your stupid idea that youll be able to graduate safely in the future, Boyleis.

I poured my anger into each word and said it.

Eugene, who was still listening to the words, held the desk tightly in his hands and murmured quietly.

Rayl.

When Eugene called his name, Rayl, who was fascinated by this situation, looked back at him in surprise.

Eugene spoke in a low voice, still glaring at Boyleis.

You have the tools to do a drug test immediately, dont you?

Looking at Eugene with wide-open eyes, as if perplexed by his words, Rayl came to his senses a moment later and hurriedly moved and shouted.

I do. Its for liver use, but the precision test tool is in the dormitory and..

I looked at Rayl, who said so and said in a voice as soft as I could.

I dont care if its for the liver. Id appreciate it if you brought it now, Rayl, please.

In my words, Rayl bit his lips and nodded, then went out the back door of the classroom.

After a while, Rayl brought some reagents, flasks, spores and magnifying glasses, and paper.

First of allcan you put this paper in your mouth and take it out, Yerine? Thats all you have to do.

Immediately I took the green bandage that Rayl had given me and did as he said.

Receiving the paper with a look of great tension, Rayl put reagents around the paper and examined the paper carefully.

The diamond familys speciality was making magic potions and drugs.

If I entrusted the test to Rayl, who excelled in the field of magic medicine, I could let everyone know that I didnt cheat.

Everyone in the classroom was holding their breath while Rayl was conducting an examination.

Even Eugene, who would have spurred out of the classroom, said it would be useless if it wasnt for me.

Uh. this cant be happening.

In the midst of this, Rayl said in a trembling voice, with the paper in front of his nose.

No once again

The words began to wobble me, too.

Are you saying that the results have come out strange?

As soon as I looked through the classroom in a subtle mood, I saw Boyleis mouth rolled up and made a mean smile.

What the hell is he so confident about?

As I continued to feel something pungent, I could hear Rayl muttering again.

Why on earth

The sound gave me goosebumps on my back.

I tried to cool my head and asked Rayl in a calm voice as I could.

Rayl, whats wrong?

Well, thats

I had a hunch then. Boyleis had done worse in my back.

tell me the result. Its okay.

That this

Calmly, silent, eye-to-eye on Rayl.

Then Rayl rubbed his hands around his anguished eyes and replied in a languid voice.

Its positive.

The students began to whisper again.

Its positive? Did she really eat it?

But no matter how I look at it we had a pre-admission drug test, and there was no problem back then.

Thats right, she didnt use drugs on the pre-admission test, then does that mean she had used them here?

But if its a drug test that Rayl-nim ran The results couldnt be wrong.

Steadily glared at Boyleis, who was smiling like a demon. I had to come up with the best way to break this situation. As soon as possible so as to prevent rumours from spreading throughout the school.

No way.

Then Rachel shouted loudly.

I looked at her in dismay at the straight sound that caught everyones attention. Rachel was originally good-natured and careful about her behaviour. She didnt even make loud noises. It was strange for me to see her standing up with bright orange eyes and talking to everyone.

I was with Yerine until the fourth round today. Boyleis, you said you saw Yerine carrying DXellaria in the morning, and I was with her all morning. Of course, she hasnt even touched a magical drug.

said Rachel, glaring at Boyleis with a determined look.

Not only me, but Astra also can prove it.

Boyleis seemed a little afraid when the seven heirs, not anyone else, raised objections. But he didnt back down.

Well, the Academy will focus on the fact that spades ate DXellaria before the competition. Besides, who knows if youve kissed up the spades, too.

I thought about what happened just in the morning. When I was able to feed myself DXellaria without even knowing it. When was it?

Ah.

Me, Rachel, and Astra, who sat at the table after having a meal, I remembered that they had skipped a menu and didnt take it, and we left the meal for a while.

I immediately looked at Boyleis with cold eyes and said.

You put it in, didnt you? In my breakfast.

It was convincing enough.

If it wasnt then, I never had the chance to eat DXellaria, which I didnt own.

Then Boyleis grinned back.

Well. I dont know what youre talking about. Are You trying to hand over your fault to someone else?

I clenched my two fists and ground my teeth. I didnt mean to eat it. But, it was obviously cheating to take DXellaria before the competition.

It was difficult to refute the fact itself.

That guy must have caused this to happen, too.

Since youve cheated, the results of the 4th round will be nullified, and the assignment of the actual class will be changed. Who knows? Maybe youve been eating DXellaria since the 1st round until 4th round, the right punishment will be only for you to be expelled.

The Boyleis giggled merrily.

My hands were white because I clenched my fist too hard.

Hey.

I said quietly, turning over the flowing purple hair.

Yes, its not my intention, but I cant deny that I took DXellaria. Ill report to the Academy and take the punishment sweetly.

Some people shouted in haste at my words.

No, Yerine! youre not even sure yet so-

I didnt eat it because I wanted to eat it.

With my head slightly lowered, I murmured.

Rules are rules. I cant help it.

Then I raised my red left eye and glared at Boyleis.

And spoke with a low voice.

By the way.

Sitting on the desk, I approached Boyleis, who was crossing his legs, step by step.

Boyleis, who had been crawling with my movements before, slowly shrank back, and as I approached him, he sweated as much as he could.

The beggars whove done this shit will regret being in this Academy.

What?

I growled at Boyleis, who was questioning.

Be prepared to pay the price for touching the successor of the 7 Imperial Family.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the classroom cooled down.

With his hands clasped to the desk and his body pulled back as far as possible, Boyleis shook with a look of dismay.

It was a moment when everyone was holding their breath.

But breaking the silence, a familiar, calm voice came.

Wait a minute.

Looking back, the owner of the voice was walking slowly out of the crowd.

Give me that vial, Yerine.

Cassius spoke slowly, shining his golden eyes.

I didnt know what was going on, but in a sudden situation, I gave him the bottle of violet liquid without much thought.

Then Cassius, who was rolling the bottle around with those golden eyes, suddenly smiled a wry smile.

Thats funny.

Yes?

I couldnt understand what was going on, so I asked Cassius with a confused look on my face.

Then he answered.

This isnt DXellaria.
